At Scottish Bible Society we share the Bible. And we believe that when people suffer from trauma, the Bible can bring them to a place of peace and healing.

We are one of a global collaboration of Christian ministries dedicated to helping people around the world heal from the pain of trauma through understanding and engaging with the Bible. We work with a community of facilitators from across the world resourced by the Trauma Healing Institute, sharing knowledge, best practice and training.

To enable the continued growth in this expanding ministry in Scotland we are seeking to appoint a Trauma Healing Coordinator. Working alongside existing staff and volunteers, the successful applicant will provide administrative support and training to those seeking to run Bible based Trauma Healing groups in their church communities. Advanced training towards accreditation as a Trauma Healing Master Facilitator will be given.

Trauma is defined as a deep wound of the heart and mind that takes a long time to heal, hurting every part of us: our relationships, our bodies, our thoughts, and our faith.

It takes knowledge and skill to help people who are in this kind of pain, without hurting them more.

This is an exciting time to join a rapidly evolving Hub that works collaboratively with others and aims to provide the best possible support for people living with dementia and their unpaid carers and family members.

The post-holder will be expected to lead a small team comprising the Hub Administrator, Support Worker and Garden Project Officer, and work collaboratively with volunteers and all involved in the Hub, reporting monthly to St Andrews Kirk Session (the leadership team of St Andrews Church).

Our Dementia Hub has its roots in our Christian faith – reaching out with warm hospitality, friendship and support to anyone with memory difficulties and their unpaid carers and family members (mainly within the Clydesdale area of South Lanarkshire).

We do our work in Christ’s name so we need you to be respectful of our Christian ethos and be able to work within it, but you do not need to share our faith.
